Another year on the Diddly Squat Farm and Jeremy is still knee-deep in mud and endless challenges.Pre-order the third book from our favourite farmer now . . .Welcome back to Clarkson's Farm. Since taking the wheel three years ago Jeremy's had his work cut out. And it's now clear from hard-won experience that, when it comes to farming, there's only one golden rule:Whatever you hope will happen, won't.Enthusiastic and inventive schemes to diversify have met with stubborn opposition from the red trouser brigade, defeat at the hands of Council Planning department, and predictable derision from Kaleb - although, to be fair, even Lisa had doubts about Jeremy's brilliant plan to build a business empire founded on rewilding and nettle soup. And only Cheerful Charlie's still smiling about the stifling amount of red tape that's incoming. But he charges by the hour.Then there are the animals: the sheep are gone; the cows have been joined by a rented bull called Break-Heart Maestro;. the pigs are making piglets; and the goats have turned out to be psychopaths.But despite the naysayers and (sometimes self-inflicted) setbacks, Jeremy remains irrepressibly optimistic about life at Diddly Squat. Because It's hard not to be when you get to harvest blackberries with a vacuum cleaner.And, after all, it shouldn't just be Break-heart Maestro who gets to enjoy a happy ending ....

Siden sidst i 1800-tallet har der været feriekolonier i Odsherred. Det toppede i slutningen af 1960 ́erne, hvor der var omkring 60 kolonier. Jeg vil koncentrere mig om de kolonier, som jeg kender til omkring Rørvig, Nakke og Nykøbing. Hver koloni har sin historie, som oprindelig har sin rod i karakter af privat, offentligt, religiøst eller socialt formål med det fælles at give børn og unge en ferieoplevelse.Bogen om de 11 feriekolonier i Rørvig og Nykøbing Sogne henvender sig til personer, der har været på feriekoloni, og til folk med tilknytning til Odsherred. De mange billeder fra omkring 1910 til 2020 er hver for sig et tidsbillede, som vækker minder om forventningerne, spændingen, samværet på lejrskole og madplaner for flere uger i feriekolonien. Måske genkender du naturen omkring Nørrevang, Skansen, Eriks Minde, Isøre, Enebærgården, Lynggården, Feriehjemmet Klitborg med nonnen Søster Franciska, Samaritternes Feriekoloni, Carlsberg Gården, Svagbørnskolonien Nordstrand, Klitgården, en slægtning eller en du har spillet fodbold med.Bogen består af enkeltstående kapitler, hvor man gennem erindringer og citater fra tidligere feriebørn, køkkenledere, pædagoger, lærere, håndværkere får et indblik i den enkelte kolonis årshjul. Læseren skal holde sig for øje, at to personer kan have været til stede ved samme begivenhed, men lagt mærke til forskellige ting og dufte. Derfor begynder jeg med feriekoloniernes fælles historie.

Moo's Law is the latest title from successful investor Jim Mellon, to help readers understand the investment landscape in cultivated and plant-based proteins and materials.Jim has a vision that within the next couple of decades world agriculture will be radically transformed by the advent of cultivated meat technology. This book grounds the reader in why such an advancement is absolutely necessary and informs them of the investments they could make to become part of the New Agricultural Revolution themselves. The harrowing effects on our environment, animal cruelty in food and fashion, and the struggling ability to feed the world's ever-growing population gives us no choice but to grow meat in labs or derive our proteins from plant-based sources.Not only this, he outlines what he sees as the major hurdles to the industry's success in terms of scalability of production and the smart designing of regulatory frameworks to stimulate innovation in this sector.The future of food is being developed in labs across the world - it will be cleaner, safer, more ethical and, importantly soon, cheaper too! Once price parity with conventional meats is reached, there will be no turning back -- this is Moo's Law(TM).

The Tree Faller's Manual is an essential handbook for forest operators and others who need to fell trees manually using a hand-held chainsaw. This manual builds on the information provided by the Chainsaw Operator's Manual. Tree felling is a high risk activity. Many fatalities and serious injuries have occurred as a result of being struck by falling trees, dislodged tree limbs or other dangers in the area. Most of these accidents are caused by using unsafe felling techniques and not following safe work procedures. This manual will guide the faller to safer work techniques. The manual is based on the national competency standards for the forest and forest products industry where tree-felling is covered using three categories: basic, intermediate and advanced. Basic tree felling applies to trees that are relatively small, with a single stem and no defects. Intermediate tree felling covers trees with single or multiple stems, limited defects, and lean and weight distribution that can be adapted to felling direction. Advanced tree felling applies to larger and more complex trees and includes trees deemed to be more hazardous. Workplace safety, risk assessment and site preparation are included along with the theory, techniques and tools for each of the tree-felling categories.
